West of Chen Village Iron Ridge Tribe.
After Mo Xin led the Blazing Flame Army to attack the energy field several times with combined combat techniques, she found that the energy field's defensive network was becoming more and more stable, so she finally stopped.
He knew there was something strange about the energy field, but he wasn't in a hurry. He ordered his men to find a comfortable spot nearby to rest.
"Lord Mo Xin, if we stay here, will Chen Zihu send a large army to surround and annihilate us?"
One of the female adjutants looked somewhat worried.
"What, are you scared?"
Mo Xin glanced at her, her expression unreadable.
"No! I just think that if it's possible, we can prepare early."
The female adjutant remained calm.
"Don't worry! Chen Zihu is known for protecting his reputation. He strictly controls the casualty ratio in every battle and would never use cannon fodder tactics to wear us down."
Mo Xin smiled and continued, "Besides, if our Blazing Flame Army wants to leave, ordinary cannon fodder legions can't stop us."
"Yes, sir, I understand."
Upon hearing Mo Xin's words, the female adjutant stepped back, feeling much more relaxed.
Mo Xin was experienced in combat and knew that there was no defense in this world that could not be broken. Although he had never seen such a strange defensive shield as an energy field before, he believed that it must have weaknesses, and he did not mind spending more time here.
He waited for more than two hours until Dusk, when he felt the energy field's defensive network becoming thinner and thinner, and soon, the light of the defensive network disappeared completely.
This is also a drawback of the Energy Force Field Defense Net. Maintaining the structural stability of the energy field is extremely difficult. Even with the powerful computing power of Rune Core No. 3, the maximum duration of the rune structure it can create is only this long.
" Chen Zihu, let's see how you stop me this time!"
Mo Xin, filled with murderous intent, led the Blazing Flame Army to charge towards the troops commanded by Chen Zihu.
"Kill...!"
They arrived in a grand manner, only to be blocked by a strange defensive barrier for two hours, leaving them seething with anger.
" Mo Xin, don't rush, look behind you first."
Just then, a force of about a thousand men rushed in from outside the gate of the Iron Ridge Tribe.
Although this force did not possess overwhelming power, it exuded a sense of harmonious unity and completeness. Upon entering the gate, they immediately transformed into a sharp blade drawn from its sheath, their aura firmly locking onto the Blazing Flame Army.
"This is... the aura of a battle formation?"
Mo Xin, the commander of the Blazing Flame Army, rose through the ranks through sheer military merit. Having participated in countless wars in the frequently Wilderness, he immediately knew that the newly arrived troops were no ordinary force.
The training of all the world's top armies is inseparable from the shadow of battle formations. For example, the combined attack techniques of their Blazing Flame Army are one of the simulated applications of battle formations.
Of course, they are still far from being ready for actual battle.
In a true battle formation, the synchronization rate of the entire team must reach at least 80%. They must act as a single entity, and when a single strike is unleashed, the power of all members within the formation will be amplified.
By then, they won't need to use any combined attack techniques. Every move of the battle formation will be the result of the combined power of all members. Even a battle formation composed of only a few dozen True Spirit Realm members will be enough to threaten Core Formation Realm expert.
"Halt! Everyone, follow me and form a defensive formation."
Mo Xin dared not be careless, and led the Blazing Flame Army around a corner, stopping at the edge of a stone wall.
With his back against the stone wall, he could avoid being attacked from both sides by Chen Zihu and the newly arrived mysterious troops. On the other hand, if the situation turned bad, he could also jump over the stone wall to escape.
" Chen Rufeng, leader of the Five Elements Guards of Chen Village, has led a thousand men of the Five Elements Army to experience the might of the Blazing Flame Army."
Chen Rufeng decisively; as soon as the Five Elements Army members finished assembling, they charged towards the Blazing Flame Army.
In terms of individual strength, the Five Elements Army is clearly far inferior to the Blazing Flame Army. Most of the members of the Five Elements Army are only at the Qi Nourishing Realm, while all members of the Blazing Flame Army are at the True Spirit Realm.
However, just as the Five Elements Army charged forward, a strange power rose from each member and then all gathered on Chen Rufeng.
" The Five Elements Battle Formation is complete!"
Chen Rufeng formed a hand seal, and a strange five-element ring appeared above his head.
As soon as the Five Elements Rings appeared, everyone below the battle formation seemed to receive some kind of guidance. Their auras and movements became incredibly synchronized, and even their breathing seemed to become the same frequency.
"One strike to sever!"
Chen Rufeng reached out and the Five Elements Ring transformed into a giant sword. He gripped the hilt with both hands and slashed towards the Blazing Flame Army.
As he moved, the thousand-strong army below was also drawn in, and almost at the same moment, everyone made a slashing motion.
With a clang, a massive gray blade of light condensed above the Five Elements Army and flew towards the Blazing Flame Army.
Mo Xin's face was extremely grim, because he knew that the other side was a real battle formation.
Although he had never fought against the battle formation troops, he could sense the state of the Five Elements Army. That state of perfect unity could only be possessed by the battle formation.
"Combined Attack Technique: Flame Demon Shield!"
With a loud boom, the blade struck the giant fiery shield, which trembled but was not shattered.
"This... is a mistake?"
Mo Xin was pleasantly surprised to find that the power of the opponent's attack was much weaker than he had imagined.
"Looks like they're still a rookie unit!"
His gaze was sharp and cold; with his extensive experience in leading troops, he keenly seized the opportunity.
"Everyone, split into two groups and attack the enemy's flanks!"
The Blazing Flame Army split into two fiery red torrents, rushing towards the Five Elements Army from the left and right.
"Sigh, True Person combat is really different from training. Just now, the energy fusion rate was only thirteen percent."
Chen Rufeng was surrounded by nine other Five Elements Guards, all of whom had livid faces, clearly dissatisfied with the Five Elements Army's performance.
"Alright, they're coming. We can't let them laugh at us this time."
After Miao Ya finished speaking, the ten Five Elements Guards split into two teams, with Chen Rufeng and Miao Ya each leading one team, and headed towards the Blazing Flame Army.
This is?
Mo Xin saw that the five-element rings above the heads of the Five Elements Army suddenly split in two, blocking the way for his two armies.
" Five Elements Cannon, fire!"
With a deafening roar, a sphere suddenly shot out from the center of the Five Elements Rings and flew towards the center of the Blazing Flame Army.
The Blazing Flame Army remained calm and formed ranks to defend themselves.
Boom!
After being blocked by the Blazing Flame Army, the sphere exploded violently, with a power exceeding Mo Xin's expectations.
"Could this be a battle formation technique?"
Mo Xin was greatly alarmed. Battle formations were difficult enough to train, but battle formation techniques, which were unleashed through battle formations, were much more difficult to train than battle formations themselves.
Now was not the time to think about that. After all, he was a veteran of countless battles. After a brief moment of hesitation, he immediately adjusted his formation and approached the Five Elements Army.
Ding! Ding ding!
Although the Blazing Flame Army did not form a battle formation, their years of training and close-quarters combat with the Five Elements Army allowed their individual strengths to gradually demonstrate their advantages.
